The weird thing about ACL injuries is that some guys tear them and can't walk under their own power. Other guys tear their ACL's and move around to the point where you think they're totally fine. I really hope he's OK. I thought he got pulled because it's dumb to have him in there w/any kind of injury, but now that he's saying he couldn't play on it... I'm concerned.

Release of J.D. Walton shows Dolphins comfortable with Mike Pouncey health status and with Sam Brenner as backup center.jim1, Bpk and Mcduffie81 like this. -

Or it means they are looking for a better guy in an emergency. Isn't Satale still out here?

You're 100% wrong. ACL's self heal.
"Frobell's team randomly assigned 121 young, active adults -- many of them highly competitive, non-professional athletes -- to two different treatments.
Both groups underwent a highly structured rehabilitation program in which they worked up from improving balance and coordination to knee strengthening exercises.
One group underwent ACL reconstruction within 10 weeks of injury. But the other group delayed ACL reconstruction until it became obvious they needed it -- or until they healed.
Two years later, both groups had good results. Neither treatment strategy was better than the other. But there was one big difference: 60% of those who delayed surgery found they never needed the operation".resnor likes this. -
so you want people to believe that professional athletes have surgery that they do not need?
Wow that is almost laughable. Why would they do that? There are several problems with the "active adults"
1. not professional athlete's
2. Professional athletes dont have 2 years to return
3. your own support of your position says "Neither treatment was better then the other"
4. 60% of those who delayed surgery found they never needed the operation (100% of those will never use there knee to the extreme a professional athlete like Pouncey will)

Thank you, FFG, as always, for your insight. Hopefully, he's ok and two weeks of rest allows him to start against Washington.
A question I've had for a while now (hoping not to derail the thread) for you or anyone else knowledgeble. For non atheletes, if someone injures their knee, how would they know if it were an ACL tear, or something similar? Since some players can walk on it after they get hurt, you would think that some regular people would too. Lets say if someone hurts their knee falling down the steps, or tripping over something, and doesn't go to see a doctor or to the ER. If they can walk on it, will the pain ever fade, or if it's something bad will it never get better?
I get these injuries from time to time, where I hurt myself, and after the initial pain lessens, it'll hurt for a few weeks to a month, but then eventually get better, and I'm always curious what exactly I did to myself, lol.
